Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton used a personal Blackberry during her tenure there, a spokeswoman for the department said Thursday.

"Secretary Clinton was also not issued a State Department Blackberry and that wasn't a requirement — no one is required to be issued a State Department Blackberry," Jennifer Psaki told reporters at a press briefing.

Psaki said that prior to 2014, the State-issued devices did not allow for the use of multiple email accounts, and said that State.gov email cannot be received on devices not issued by the department.

"She had a personal device; I can't speak to what was done on that personal device and what was not," Psaki said, when asked about the department's policy on security for devices used for official business. "That's a question I would pose to her team."
